In 1988, a group describing itself as the Ministry for Information of the American Indian Movement released a statement claiming that (Russell) Means had publicly resigned from AIM on no less than six occasions, first in 1974.[2] However, as of 2004, Means' website states that he was a board member of the Colorado AIM chapter. Means has also been closely associated with the controversial activist Ward Churchill. Churchill gave the nominating speech for Means in 1987 when Means sought the presidential nomination of the Libertarian Party in a heated race against Representative Ron Paul. He was defeated by Paul, who later returned to the Republican Party.

... Since the late 1970s, Means has often supported libertarian political causes, putting him at odds with several of the other leaders of AIM. In 1984, Means campaigned for the Republican nomination for vice president on a ticket with pornographer Larry Flynt; they lost to the incumbents, Ronald Reagan and George Bush. In 1986 Means traveled to Nicaragua to express his support for Miskito Indians who were allied with the US-funded contra guerillas against the Nicaraguan government. In 1987, Means sought the nomination of the Libertarian Party for president and attracted considerable support within the party, but eventually lost the nomination to former Congressman Ron Paul.

We changed our kittens food and now it has some really bad gas.
Whoda thunk such nasty smells could come out of such a little critter!
Y’all just wait until that sweet little kitten grows up.
You have no idea how foul a stench can come from a critter so full of life!
Maybe the paychecks no longer say “CCCP”, but they still say moveon.org.
Same group of thuggies.
Sorry if I bored you, friend. I just thought it was a fascinating case of strange bedfellows involving people who are still on the political scene today.
